AI Capability Playbook

Field guidance for responsible AI deployment where correctness, evidence, operating control, cost, context, and downstream decision quality matter.

Why this exists

The hard part is not how to use a model. The hard part is deciding whether AI should be used at all, and if it is used, what evidence, context, provenance, validation, observability, change control, and sustainment discipline must exist before it can support real work.

The playbook focuses on correctness-matters AI: AI-infused work where poor grounding, weak evidence, uncontrolled context, unreliable output, or weak operating controls can create bad decisions, wasted spend, operational risk, compliance exposure, quality defects, or downstream rework. Regulated and high-consequence settings are obvious examples, but the same posture applies whenever AI output drives business decisions, operational action, architecture choices, security posture, financial decisions, quality outcomes, or downstream work.

Use it to separate model intelligence from the scaffolding required to make AI useful, safe, and sustainable. Some problems need deterministic rules, workflow automation, search, reporting, or AI-assisted design support instead of AI-infused runtime behavior. The durable product is the governed knowledge package: source, metadata, receipts, hashes, and portable artifacts. The public site is a reading surface, not the product boundary, and a future chatbot would be another interface rather than the durable asset.

Choose your path

Start where your current question is. The pages work together, but a first-time reader does not need every artifact at once.

Learn the modelUse AI Capability Discipline to understand why prompts, agents, and demos are components, not capability.
Align languageUse Shared Capability Foundations for common terms such as source authority, evidence state, non-inference, evals, and sustainment.
Orient the familyUse the Playbook Map to see how doctrine, shared foundations, WESS, the reference implementation, and prompt packs relate.
Apply build disciplineUse MLL WESS when an idea asks for scarce capacity, contractor effort, Jira commitment, or operational support.
Review a patternUse the Enterprise Architecture Review Assistant as a concrete reference for governed assistant design.
01 Orientation

Playbook Map

Shows what the playbook pieces are, which one to read first, and which artifact helps which kind of decision.

02 Shared language

Shared Capability Foundations

Reusable terms, control concepts, and architectural primitives used across the broader playbook.

03 Doctrine

AI Capability Discipline

The teaching layer for governed AI capability formation, preserved here as the real `v0.9` HTML experience.

04 Build readiness

MLL WESS Build Readiness

Applies the discipline to scarce team capacity, preflight, contractor effort, Jira epics, and operationalization.

05 Reference pattern

Enterprise Architecture Review Assistant

A concrete governed assistant blueprint with source authority, evidence states, evals, and human review.

06 Communication

Prompt Packs

Renderer-ready prompt packs for explaining, visualizing, and communicating the playbook family.

Artifact identity, context pack, and portable exports

The public site helps readers navigate the playbook, but the durable product is the governed knowledge package rather than this website or a future chatbot surface. Root `context-pack/` remains canonical; this site publishes its deterministic mirror at `/context-pack/`. Use the manifests and hash receipts when package files need to travel outside the full repository context.

Field guidance boundary

This is field guidance, not final policy. It does not approve any enterprise tool, data class, workflow, supplier path, or production use case. The public site frames the playbook family while keeping the official AI Capability Discipline `v0.9` release-of-record preserved in `releases/v0.9/` inside the repository.
